One thing that really gave me some relief regarding alcoholism was a man I heard on Public Radio or npr, the program Fresh Air. He was speaking of the research that he did on the brain and what he found. His name is David Linden. Here is something from npr that describes him and his work...
"Linden is a professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the chief editor of the Journal of Neurophysiology"
And here is the web site for fresh air..
I cannot put the web site on here because I have not posted enough but you can find this by googling.
